    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange

variable life insurance products, exemptions from certain provisions of 
the Act, subject to conditions set forth in the rule.
    Rule 6e-2 provides a separate account with an exemption from the 
registration provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if the account files 
with the Commission Form N-6EI-1 (17 CFR 274.301), a notification of 
claim of exemption.

proxy solicitations, and submissions to state regulatory authorities, 
as prescribed by the rule.
    Since 2008, there have been no filings of Form N-6EI-1 by separate 
accounts. Therefore, there has been no cost or burden to the industry 
since that time. The Commission requests authorization to maintain an 
inventory of one burden hour for administrative purposes.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
